摘要：
PROBLEM: There is minimal published literature on experiences of peer support programs for children/adolescents in families affected by mental illness. This study aimed to explore children's and adolescents' perspectives of the ON FIRE peer support program. METHODS: An exploratory qualitative study with 14 children/adolescents 9-17 years of age who participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis resulted in three themes of experience. FINDINGS: Participants made connections with others in the program, developed personal strengths, and learned how to contribute to others' well-being. CONCLUSION: Participants derived substantial personal benefit from peer support. Use of social media and the Internet may facilitate future program delivery.
